8. Risks

User is aware of the accompanying risks of possessing, trading and using cryptocurrencies and takes full responsibility for these risks.

By accessing and using the Website, you represent that you possess the financial and technical sophistication to understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems. You assert that you have a solid understanding of the usage and intricacies of digital assets, such as ether (ETH), so-called stablecoins, and other digital tokens. This includes tokens following the Ethereum Token Standard (ERC-20) and standards of other digital tokens transacted on GT Protocol.

You are aware that the markets for these digital assets are in their infancy and are prone to high volatility due to various risk factors, including but not limited to, adoption, speculation, technology, security, and regulatory considerations. You recognize that anyone can create a token, even producing fake versions of existing tokens or tokens that falsely represent projects. You acknowledge the risk that you might unintentionally trade these or other deceptive tokens. It's essential to note that so-called stablecoins might not be as stable as they claim, might lack full or sufficient collateral, and could be vulnerable to sudden withdrawals or panics.

Furthermore, you comprehend that smart contract transactions are automatically executed and settled. Once confirmed, blockchain-based transactions become irreversible. You accept that the cost and speed associated with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, such as Ethereum, can be unpredictable and might surge dramatically without warning. You also recognize the risks associated with choosing to trade in Expert Modes, which can lead to significant price slippage and elevated costs.

If you decide to act as a liquidity provider to the Protocol via the Website, you understand that fluctuations in the prices of tokens in a trading pair or liquidity pool may cause your digital assets to lose partial or total value while supplied to the Protocol.

Lastly, it's clear to you that we neither create, own, nor operate cross-chain bridges. We do not offer any assurances about the reliability or integrity of any cross-chain bridge, including its use for GT Protocol governance.

In essence, you understand that we neither control nor own the Protocol and cannot be held accountable for any losses you might incur while accessing or using the Website. Consequently, you agree to shoulder full responsibility for all risks when accessing and using the Website to engage with the Protocol.
